Yes it is very good for its price point, but honestly if you have the money I would step it up to the Blue Yeti as that mic is just an absolute beat for its price. The Blue snowball though is the best mic for under $100

There's a pretty significant difference in price between the two. For gaming use, I use the Snowball and it's great for that. I'd recommend the Yeti for Commentaries on videos or more professional use.

Just two weeks ago I went to Radioshack and could have kicked my self int he but, They had the Yeti for $99.99, I bought the Snowball 1 moth earlier for $10 less. The Yeti now is now $129.99 at radioshack, which is $30 more then what most places still sale the Snowball for.

I can see your point, if I had to say which Blue mic looks the best though I would have to say that the Blue Spark wins hands down.

In the U.K the price difference is bigger. Over there though, I'd just get the Yeti.
